rode a little
Aug 17^th, 2012, 10:04pm

i was going to ride longer but found my 2 rear tires going flat---this is one week after we brought my trike to RBM for its free yearly check-up...by tht time we got home -2 hr drive- the front tire was flat and today the 2 rear wheels were going flat and one of the things we wanted them to do was change the tubes in the tires.
also they were supposed to adjust the chain but it does not seem any different
so i had a very short ride as i found the tires going flat!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear of your misadventure, Susan. Do you know how to fix a flat? It's not so hard, but here's something to add: Look/feel around the inside and outside of the tire for a thorn or glass or other issue. If the flat didn't occur because of a bounce so hard that the tube was pinched between the ground and rim, (called a "snake bite" because of the telltale double holes), if that wasn't the problem, checking the tire will prevent the loss of the newly replaced tube.
